Lisa note the edges of the petal transmap in the above image, real petals don't do that generally so I also fixed those mpas to make the edges white and not grey.

these next to were rendered with a more medium contrast (average) HDRI

Salvias next. Made Translucency Weight maps from the diffuse so the leaf veins weren't so bright, using the Photoshop > Adjustments > Black and White filter with manually brushing out the leftovers and then Invert and Level adjustments

yep been converting all my plant collection for a couple of weeks now to Iray and updating my Iray ones to be more inline with PBR when they fall short.

Thank you Miss B, much appreciated. When I am finished I can do some renders without the hassle of adjusting materials.

I will leave you with this. I have done more but I think I am boring folks LOL
Oh you're not boring me at all! I just recently used the Potted Palm in an Artistic Render I did while testing Satira's latest, Beatrice Larkspur. Of course, I used it in Poser, but still, your efforts for DS are quite good. ;)

Nice kitbashing there
Thank you! Credit goes to Ken's Habitat Extender, though. I am spoiled by it as I use it in almost any exterior render. It "pulls together" an outdoor scene by preventing abnormal blank spots and adds that background that Mother Nature provides, giving us a more natural outdoor environment.

It's that part of outdoors that we don't "see," but know when it's missing.
